Your Local Solar Panel Cleaning Service For Shoreham-by-Sea

Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in providing top-notch exterior cleaning services across Shoreham-by-Sea. Recently, a homeowner approached us with a major problem affecting their six solar panels. Due to lichen growth on the roof, the solar panels were compromised, lowering energy output. This case study details how we brought back peak efficiency using our advanced softwashing technique.

Obstacles Faced

• Organic Contamination: The roof was covered in organic growth, which cross-contaminated the panels, masking the solar cells and hindering energy production.

• Reduced Energy Production: The customer’s remote display showed a considerable decline in energy output, potentially leading to higher energy expenses during the current economic climate.

• Need for Gentle Cleaning: The solar panels needed careful handling to avoid damage.

Cleaning Process

Upon being contacted, we carried out a comprehensive assessment to understand the contamination level and determine the best cleaning strategy. We then presented a proposal and free quotation, which they accepted. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We evaluated the condition of the solar panels and the roof, identifying heavy lichen infestation on the panels. We explained our softwashing approach and why it’s ideal for solar panels. We also suggested a future roof cleaning to prevent further cross-contamination.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: The customer opted to clean the panels initially, scheduling the roof cleaning for a later date. We assembled our softwashing system and arrived on the scheduled day.

3. Softwashing Application: Using our state-of-the-art softwashing tools, we applied a specialized cleaning solution to the solar panels. The solution was designed to sanitize and break down the organic contaminants. We allowed it to dwell on the panels for at least half an hour to ensure effective treatment.

4. Gentle Cleaning with Water-Fed Pole: After the solution had sufficiently dwelled, we used a soft-brushed water pole to gently remove the contaminants. This method provided complete removal of grime without any threat to the solar cells.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: After wrapping up the cleaning, we conducted a final rinse to eliminate any leftover solution. The customer was invited to inspect the solar panels, and they showed us the significant improvement in their energy production as displayed on their remote system.

Transformation

The improvement was exceptional. The lichen was fully cleared from the panels, restoring them to their original condition and greatly improving their efficiency. The customer was delighted with the immediate increase in energy production, which translated to significant savings on their electricity bill.
